Chapter 2147: Signs Begin to Appear
"This is my dojo!"
Qin Sang arrived at the top of the mountain, slowly flew high into the sky, looked around, and saw endless mountains, rivers and plains.
Su Nu and Zhu Que are practicing in seclusion in Qingyang Temple. With the presence of three Lianxu monks and the recognition of the Zhuyan tribe, they are no longer a small tribe among the alien race.
The candidates for the masters of the four Jingtans have been selected. In addition to the originally selected Li Yufu, Bao Xi and Master Yun Xin, there is another one who is jointly nominated by various forces.
This man called himself Taoist Shen Qian. He was a cultivator from Zhongzhou who rose to prominence after the changes in heaven and earth. He was a man who could get along with everyone, no matter good or evil. He could also establish friendships with the monsters of the East China Sea and the Buddhist sects of the West. He was a casual cultivator.
He has never joined any sect. Not only has he successfully survived all the disasters, but he has also made many contributions. He has repeatedly broken through bottlenecks with the help of rewards and finally reached this point, becoming the master of Yijing, which is quite legendary.
Under Jingtan, official positions in various capitals and branch altars are gradually being filled.
There was a demonic aura surrounding one corner of the altar, and it was Long Jing who was ordered to lead the demon soldiers to guard this place. The rest of the demon soldiers were also sent to various places to guard Qingyangzhi.
Ji Hong also led the Wu clan masters to plant the Chi Hua tree.
In the area governed by Qingyang, immortals, gods, humans, demons and witches each hold their own positions, and the country is full of vigor and prosperity.
At this moment, a sound transmission note flew over, and Qin Sang scanned it with his spiritual sense and learned that it was the young master who came to visit. The young master was still on the way and sent a visiting card to Qingyang Temple in advance. Li Yufu happened to be in the temple, and when he received the visiting card, he hurriedly reported it to Qin Sang.
"It's coming fast!"
Qin Sang thought to himself that the Junior Master had arrived earlier than he had expected. He did not send any other messengers to test his opinion, but directly dispatched the Junior Master, which showed that the Emperor was determined to get the Mirage Jade.
With one step forward, Qin Sang disappeared from the altar.
……
Qingyang Temple.
On this day, the mountain gate suddenly opened wide and bells and drums rang, which was the etiquette for distinguished guests.
Qin Sang came out to greet him personally.
Outside the mountain, neon lights paved the road. Coming from the westernmost part, eight celestial horses pulled the imperial carriage across the rainbow bridge. In the blink of an eye, it arrived near Qingyang Temple.
The young master walked out of the imperial carriage and bowed with a smile: "I am sorry to bother Master Qin by coming to visit."
"Master Young Master, your presence here brings honor to my humble abode!"
Qin Sang bowed, stepped aside, and invited the young master to come into the mountain as a guest.
Young Master and Qin Sang walked side by side, seemingly having forgotten that they were once enemies. He spoke in a friendly tone, "My last name is Si, and Young Master was given to me by Emperor Si, but it's just an empty title. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. I have great respect for Master Qin. I wonder if I am qualified for Master Qin to call me Fellow Daoist Si?"
祀？
Qin Sang remembered Si Lu saying that one of the four royal families had a family with the surname Si, which was rare in the Siyou clan.
Is the young master from the royal family? Why did he join the Si Huang's army?
Qin Sang had no intention of delving into the hidden secrets and grudges involved, so he just followed suit and said, "I am honored."
The young master laughed heartily.
It was obvious that the young master had no interest in those cumbersome formalities, so Qin Sang waved his hand to dismiss everyone and invited the young master to go to Yingke Peak.
In the hall, there were only Qin Sang and the young master, sitting opposite each other.
The young master looked out of the mountain and said with emotion: "In just a few decades, Master Qin's temple has taken on a brand new look!"
"Thank you for your praise, Brother Si," said Qin Sang.
The young master shook his head slightly, "I believe in my own intuition. If King Lu were to attack us now, I would do my best to dissuade him and help the Lu family escape the disaster!"
Qin Sang smiled and asked knowingly, "Friend Si, are you here to mourn King Lu?"
"Master Qin, you are joking. How can I hide my intention from Master Qin? The Mirage Jue of the Lu family should still be in Master Qin's hands, right?" The young master simply got straight to the point.
Qin Sang did not deny it and nodded, saying, "Even if I were to trade it, I would first consider the most powerful royal family. During this period, many Siyou clan masters also approached Fellow Daoist Silu, but they were all turned away."
The young master breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! I wonder what Master Qin is planning?"
"Fellow Daoist Si, are you here at the request of the Emperor? I wonder what conditions the Emperor promised?" Qin Sang asked instead of answering.
Qin Sang asked very directly, trying to find out the other party's bottom line.
The young master did not think it was an offense. Both parties knew each other's intentions, so it was better to get straight to the point. He said frankly: "It depends on what Master Qin wants. It's nothing more than elixirs, magic treasures, or other rare treasures. As long as Master Qin is willing to trade and the request is not too unreasonable, we will do our best to meet it."
This condition can be said to be very relaxed, which is equivalent to allowing Qin Sang to make any request he wants.
The royal family does have the confidence, but Qin Sang keenly sensed something unusual; Emperor Si seemed a little too eager.
If the Emperor had always been so generous and didn't care about the price, he should have sent the Junior Master long ago. The delay until now showed that the Emperor wanted to stall for a while and bargain.
"Is the holy land about to open?" Qin Sang suddenly asked.
"Master Qin is indeed smart."
The young master sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it. The holy land concerned the interests of every tribe. As long as Qin Sang was willing to investigate, he would definitely be able to find out.
Si Huang did not expect the signs to come so quickly, and he suddenly felt urgent, because after exchanging for the Mirage Jue, he still had to analyze the information left by the previous owner, distinguish the truth from the false, screen the opportunities, and plan strategies.
This information is very valuable. The royal family has long coveted other Mirage Jue, but unfortunately they cannot rob them for no reason, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the ancestors in the holy land. The reason why Si Huang stopped Lu Wang from killing them all was because the whereabouts of Yanshan Si's Mirage Jue were unknown.
"It is said that there are signs of the filthy land. It has yet to be confirmed, but it must be not far from the high tide. Even if it is not this time, it must be the next low tide."
The high tide of foul air, like the low tide, has no exact time and can only be inferred within a rough range. It is normal for the low tide to differ by more than ten years and the high tide to differ by hundreds of years.
Once the signs appear, they will arrive soon.
It is probably because it has not been confirmed yet, so the leader of the Yuanxiang tribe has not sent a message. If the next low tide is a high tide, there are only a few decades left.
Qin Sang had heard Master Ning say that it would be within a thousand years, and he thought that he had plenty of time. He couldn't help but be glad that he chose to improve his strength first so that he could refine the Heaven-binding Golden Lock before the next low tide.
The young master was unusually frank.
Qin Sang realized that this was exactly the situation he wanted.
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Sang looked at the young master and said, "I am not injured, and I am not short of spiritual treasures. However, after hearing all the rumors about the Holy Land, although I am a foreigner, I still yearn for it and am full of curiosity and expectations about the Holy Land..."
The young master was surprised and asked, "Master Qin wants to?"
Qin Sang nodded.
"This is impossible!"
The young master shook his head repeatedly and said decisively, "Master Qin is not a descendant of our alien race. How can we allow outsiders to enter the holy land..."
"Is there really no possibility at all?" Qin Sang interrupted the young master. "Is there no precedent for the Siyou clan, or the entire alien race? I vaguely heard that there is a rule in the ancient covenant..."
The young master was startled, his face showing strange color.
The Siyou Clan has never used this rule. After all, the number of places to enter the holy land is limited, and who would be willing to give them to outsiders? Moreover, the consent of all the owners of the Mirage Jue in the clan is required.
The Emperor Si might have forgotten the existence of this rule. There are also very few people in the Siyou clan who know and remember this. It is really cunning of this Master Qin to have been able to find it out.
Before coming, the young master was full of confidence, but he did not expect Qin Sang to put forward such a condition, and he could not help but hesitate.
Qin Sang didn't rush and patiently sipped the spiritual tea.
"Master Qin, by entering the holy land, will he snatch the opportunities from our clan?" the young master asked with a frown.
Qin Sang learned about the holy land through the Mirage Jue of the Hanjiang Lu family and the Yanshan Si family. What if he also set his eyes on an opportunity recorded in the Mirage Jue and came into conflict with the royal family, wouldn't that be bringing about a powerful enemy for himself?
"I will try my best to avoid the royal family, and we can make a vow later," Qin Sang said in a relaxed tone, jokingly, "There are two quotas for a Mirage Jue, and I only take one, so the royal family gets a quota for nothing. What are you still hesitating about, Fellow Daoist?"
The young master's expression froze, "Master Qin, are you going to put forward other conditions? This is absolutely not possible! Do you know how much it would cost to convince the other masters of the Mirage Jue to allow a foreigner to accompany us?"
Qin Sang said without comment: "Fellow Daoist Si, why don't you report this to the Emperor first and we can discuss it in detail later."
Hearing this, the young master hesitated to speak. He knew that time was pressing and he could not make the decision. The Emperor had to consider the matter carefully.
The young master couldn't help but sigh. He had no intention of staying any longer. After talking with Qin Sang for a while, he stood up and said goodbye.
Watching the imperial carriage heading west, Qin Sang thought to himself that the young master was very powerful this time and must have brought a lot of treasures, but in order to enter the holy land, he had to give them up.
……
After seeing off the young master, Qin Sang immediately returned to the fire room.
In the fire room, eight golden men were surrounding the Heaven-binding Golden Lock and circulating golden liquid. The repulsive force of the Heaven-binding Golden Lock was becoming weaker and weaker.
"That should be enough time."
Qin Sang sensed it for a moment and murmured.
After returning from Ziyun Mountain, he had almost no time to practice in depth. Apart from the time he spent on opening up Qingyangzhi, his mind was almost entirely focused on the sword formation and the Golden Lock to Bind the Sky.
The sword formation has also made considerable progress.
Before the holy land is opened, even if the Eastern Azure Dragon Sword Formation has not reached its peak, it can still be used to fight the enemy. When the three sword formations are used together, the power will surely be even greater.
Qin Sang used golden liquid to bless the golden man and continued to comprehend the sword formation.
After the young master left, there was no news for several months, which shows that this condition really made the Emperor Si very embarrassed.
Qin Sang did not wait for the young master, but waited for the chief of the Yuanxiang tribe, who brought similar news.
"After the next two low tides, there will be a high tide. Master Qin can make preparations early. This time we go to Yuanjiao Hai City, Master, please go with us, and you can also bring some fellow Taoists and younger generations," said the Yuanxiang clan leader.
"Will our whereabouts be exposed?" Qin Sang worried.
According to Master Ning, he needed to stagger away from Liuli and hide in the dark to avoid being noticed by the enemy.
"It's okay. Yuanjiao Sea Market is in front and the Holy Land is behind. Strong men from all tribes will attend the ceremony, and there will also be many friendly people from foreign tribes. There are countless rare treasures, and it would be a pity to miss them. The Holy Land will open when the ceremony is about to end. The door of the Holy Land has its own monitoring ability. As long as Master Qin obtains the recognition of the Siyou tribe and blesses himself with all the power of the Mirage Jue, he can pass through the door of the Holy Land without telling other tribes. In order to avoid trouble, Si Huang will definitely try to help you conceal your identity..."
The Zhuyan tribe has sent in many outsiders, and tribe leader Yuanxiang is very experienced.
Qin Sang felt relieved and sighed, "It's a pity that there is no news from the young master. I don't know what the emperor intends."
"Since you didn't refuse on the spot, we can talk. The Emperor should be testing the attitudes of others. Let's wait a little longer."
Chief Yuan Xiang came here not only to deliver the message, but also to observe the governance of the altar.
Qin Sang was very generous. He opened the ordination hall and invited Chief Yuanxiang to come in.
The chief of the Yuanxiang clan was amazed and praised repeatedly, saying that it was worthy of being the Dao Court that once dominated the world!
……
As Chief Yuanxiang expected, the young master finally returned shortly after Chief Yuanxiang's visit.
Qin Sang invited the young master to the Yingke Peak. After a brief greeting, the young master went straight to the point and told him the good news.
"During this period, I was ordered to contact several Taoist friends who wield the Mirage Jade. It is not easy to convince them. However, although it is difficult, it is not hopeless."
Qin Sang remained unmoved, and listened to the young master continue, "Lord Si Huang must confirm one thing, we paid a huge price to help Master Qin enter the holy land, and it will not become a problem for us."
"I said we could make a vow..."
"Lord Si Huang wants Fellow Daoist Qin to become our ally!"
The young master interrupted, "After entering the holy land, please ask Master Qin to meet us first and break a seal together. Master Qin, don't worry, it won't take too long. After that, Master Qin will still have plenty of time to explore the holy land."
Qin Sang frowned.
After entering the holy land, he must meet up with Liuli and the others as soon as possible. Not to mention how long it would take to break the seal, there might be dangers and other opponents. It was equivalent to him using a Mirage Jue and himself to exchange for the qualification to enter the holy land once.
Qin Sang sneered, "If you can take me in every time, maybe I can consider it."
"It may not be impossible, as long as Master Qin can always stand on the side of the royal family. Most of the opportunities in the holy land are useless to outsiders. Compared with others, Master Qin is more trustworthy."
The young master said sternly, "Master Qin, don't rush to refuse. Why don't you listen to the following conditions... The royal family once obtained a treasure in the holy land, called the Yanshan Pearl. This pearl is a rare treasure of thunder. It does not have strong power itself, but it can seal a thunder method. When encountering an enemy, you can use this pearl to use the thunder method to attack the enemy!"
Qin Sang's expression suddenly changed.
"The Immortal also thought of it. We were not sure about the seal at first, but it is different with the help of Immortal Qin. We would like to ask Immortal Qin to activate the Thunder Altar, cast the thunder talisman that killed the chief priest that year, and seal it in the Yanshan Pearl. Although this pearl can only seal one thunder method at a time, it can be sealed repeatedly. After the task is accomplished, Si Huang is willing to give this pearl to Immortal Qin as a reward," the young master's tone was a little seductive.
There is such a rare treasure in the world!
Qin Sang's heart was pounding, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure this bead can seal the thunder talisman?"
The young master paused, he was indeed not sure, after all, the thunder talisman was too powerful.
"Just give it a try and you'll know! With the power of the Thunder Altar, sealing the second-rate Thunder Talisman can also be a powerful aid."
Qin Sang nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly felt something strange in his soul.
It was the Yunyou Sword that was shaking!
